Bayldonite




Bayldonite
John Bayldon (1837((8)) - 1872) discovered this mineral during his lifetime at Penberthy Croft Mine, Cornwall England, United Kingdom, the type locality.  The United States boasts Bayldonite in Arazona.

 The formula is PbCu3(AsO4)2(OH)2.  Bayldonite are the green pseudo spheres.

Compare this image to that at the top.  I wanted more light in the vug so here is my solution.

Photodiox Portable Studio LED 440
 The led lights are in the top of this studio.  The light wasn't hitting the sample so that the vug would be lighted internally.  I cut out a round reflector to reflect light up on the bottom of the subject.  The outcome was the image at the top which I liked.

Lens Front Mounted Reflector
I think it is part of what made the image at the top successful.
